Another thick black line dilemma
I am working on a 5 page document that for some inexplicable reason is
printing a single horizontal thick line on page two. This line is not visible in normal view or in print preview, but it does show up on the printed page. Maddening!! I did read Suzanne's article regarding borders and tried those steps to no avail. I have even cleared all formatting for that page, and the line still prints. To make matters worse, I am under a deadline to get this done. FYI~ I am working in Word 2007, and my document includes tables with fields. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Rondi |

Another thick black line dilemma
I assume you're already displaying Hidden text. Try also displaying field
codes (Alt+F9) to see if anything odd shows up. I saw one document where very strange things turned up when you looked at field codes. -- Suzanne S.

Another thick black line dilemma
I had already displayed the hidden text, but didn't know how to look
at the field codes. Thanks for that tip as I am sure I will utilize that often. Unfortunately, it doesn't show anything that seems out of place. Any other ideas? Rondi On Jul 10, 4:03*pm, "Suzanne S.

No, but I'll be happy to look at the document (or a small portion of it that
exhibits the problem) if you send it to my email. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA wrote in message ...

Yes, I received it just as I was going out to lunch. I'll have a look
shortly and get back to you. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA wrote in message ... Suzanne, I have forwarded the document to you.

Okay, I've taken a look and don't have a clue. Perhaps someone who knows how
to take it apart and read the XML will be more helpful. Sorry! -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Another thick black line dilemma
Hi Suzanne,
I ended up recreating the document without the benefit of a Microsoft template. It took a little bit of time, but finding the source of the mysterious black line was becoming time-consuming in its own right. I do want you to know how much I appreciate you taking the time to assist me! Thank you! I am sorry it's taken me a few days to send my thanks! Rondi On Jul 11, 4:17*pm, "Suzanne S.

I'm sorry you had to go to so much trouble, but sometimes starting from
(almost) scratch seems to be the only recourse. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA wrote in message ...
